Kamikaze Pilot - Libyan Style

Some believe it was a Libyan pilot who flew his plane into Ghadafi's bunker. That would be sweet, if true.

And here's a couple of videos from CNN. The first one is especially encouraging. It describes how Libyan rebels dealt with an American pilot whose plane came down inside Libya.

I especially like what the second guy says about the gap between Arab leaders and the Arab League on the one hand and the Arab street on the other. I've been harping about that forever. Until and unless Arab dictatorships allow some of the usual pieces of what we regard as democracy, we will never know what the Arab street really thinks.

Oh. And I didn't know that Canada was the driving force behind the doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect. Good on Canada, even if it is the U.N. and even if it was a Liberal Party member, Alan Rock, who pushed for it.
